UNSPSC 85641259 Insertion of tissue expander into chest subcutaneous tissue and fascia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical care management through Centers of Excellence networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations procure tissue expanders or open surgical insertion procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code as a catchall for healthcare service categories that do not fit cleanly elsewhere in the taxonomy.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County, Texas), a county human resources division (Collier County, Florida), and a county health system (Santa Clara County, California). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). None of these opportunities solicit the surgical implant or procedure named in the code itself, indicating that this code is not the appropriate taxonomy home for tracking medical devices or surgical procedures in state and local procurement.
